Abstract
This paper revisits the impact of regret aversion on the behavior of the competitive firm under price uncertainty. We show that the firm optimally produces more (less) when regret aversion prevails if the random output price is positively (negatively) skewed. In this case, high (low) output prices are much more likely to be seen than low (high) output prices. To avoid regret, the firm is induced to raise (lower) its output optimal level. The skewness of the price distribution as such plays a pivotal role in determining how regret aversion affects the firm’s production decision.
